I love having Eric Nygaard on with Musky Miracles guide service. We discussed a lot on this episode such as; the early musky opener, livescope debate, low stocking numbers with solutions, and much more. I have all of Erics contact info below. If you vacationing in Northern Wisconsin this year, it is a great idea to hire him to show you around and help flatten your learning curve for musky. He spends several days on the water per week and easily identifies the changes happening throughout the season. If electronics is something you want to learn he would be glad to spend time showing you how to use them and you'll have a shortcut in your own boat.
